Yesterday was a rainy and windy day. Missy and I had been planning a road trip for over a week. I had decided that I wanted to look and try to find some wildflowers and/or prairie that might make a good shot. We decided to take the road trip in spite of the weather. Packed up the car, packed up the gear, packed up Wesley, packed up Missy, and off we went, into the wilds of Iowa.
We didn’t take a single shot, it was too rainy and windy, but that didn’t matter. We found a really cool old cemetery in Rochester Township near Tipton. It was a very charming place, both old and new, and still maintained. If a cemetery can be charming, this was it. We did stop and look and scout, and Wesley had a great time… especially when we visited Missy’s work and dogs are allowed. It was still a fun day and we made plans to go back when the weather is better. It takes only about 45 minutes to get there.
Since we didn’t take photos I don’t have a new one to share, but I will post some when we go back. The photo here is a sunset photo in Des Moines from a couple years ago during another road trip.
Another information source for the cemetery can be found here.
A perfect example of how to go forward without letting the weather ruin your day. We still scouted out our location and had a good day of it!
This is a gorgeous photo… I love to see your photos and read your blog Ken!
